How to add a contact form to Linktree using Linktree’s own contact form

The Linktree contact form is a fairly straightforward tool without a lot of bells and whistles, but it’s enough to get the job done if you’re looking for a simple form with a few basic fields. 

Follow these instructions to create a contact form on Linktree:

1. Log in to your Linktree account. (If you don’t yet have an account, you can create a free-forever account, try the limited free trial, or opt for one of its paid plans.)
2. Click Links in the left menu.

3. Click +Add.

4. Click Form.

5. Click Contact form.

6. Click +Add field to add the fields you would like on your contact form. Use the checkboxes to mark the required fields.

If you would like to include a custom terms and conditions section on your contact form, you can do so with one of the paid plans. 

From this section, you can customize the intro message and outro message for your contact form, ensuring it creates a seamless brand experience.

7. Once you’ve customized your form, click Done.



Your contact form will now be on your Linktree, and your followers and customers will be able to fill it out to get in touch with you.

Note that if you would like to get email notifications for each form submission, you can set it up from the Incoming responses section directly under the form section. 



If you want to manage form submissions, you can do so from the Audience section in Linktree.

There you have it: Setting up a Linktree form link is a fairly simple job because the form functionality is basic. For some uses, that’s all you need. But be aware Linktree does have some form-related limitations that may make it more difficult to use certain types of forms — and prevent you from making your forms as engaging as they could be!

What are the limitations of Linktree’s native contact form?

Because Linktree is not a dedicated form builder, it doesn’t offer a full and robust set of form features. This holds true not just for contact forms, but also for Linktree lead forms, inquiry forms, and message forms as well. Consider these limitations of Linktree’s native form-building features:

• No advanced functionality: Linktree’s contact forms are basic at best. You can add custom fields and specify required fields. However, you cannot add complex logic or advanced embeds within the form, making them less relevant to your audience.
• No advanced workflows: If you want to integrate the Linktree form into a larger workflow, such as taking payments for products and services, that’s simply not possible. Linktree does have a payments option, but it’s not on the form feature.
• Limited branding and design flexibility: Unlike dedicated form builders, Linktree doesn’t offer much in the way of branding and design options. You can customize some appearance details, but the options are limited at best, leading to generic-looking forms.

Linktree’s contact form works well for lightweight inquiries, such as when you’re collecting names and email addresses or simple messages. However, for businesses that use Linktree as a conversion channel, its contact form options will hinder your efforts to connect with people. If you need more control over forms for Linktree, it’s best to look for a dedicated form builder that can do everything you need.

A more flexible option: Add a Jotform form to Linktree

For adding forms to Linktree, Jotform is a better option. It combines advanced contact form functionality with the ease of an intuitive interface.

Here’s how easy it is to create a contact form in Jotform and add the link to Linktree:

1. Choose one of Jotform’s contact form templates. There are hundreds of options, such as the Email Sign Up Form and the Opt In Form. Click Use Template to start. Jotform will prompt you to sign up for an account or log in to your account.

2. Customize the branding, fields, and form logic. Jotform offers stronger design control than Linktree and many other dedicated form builders. Once you log into Jotform, it will open up the template in the form builder. From here, you can use the Form Elements menu to easily change fields, customize the design, and add conditional logic. You can also add payments, terms and conditions, images, and more.

3. Copy the Jotform direct form link. Once you’re done customizing the form, click Publish. From here, find the direct form link and click Copy Link.

4. Go back to Linktree. Just because you’re not using Linktree to create your form doesn’t mean you can’t use it to share the link. Linktree is a great tool for consolidating your links into one landing page. Click Links and then +Add.

5. Paste the Jotform direct form link into Linktree. Add your Jotform direct form link into Linktree. Click Link.



And that’s how easy it is to use Jotform and Linktree together! 

Linktree will automatically add the Jotform form direct link to your Linktree landing page. In the screenshot below, you can see the Linktree landing page with both the Jotform contact form and the Linktree contact form. The Jotform contact form stands out because of the Jotform icon, making users more likely to click through to your contact form.

When you’re dealing with more complex use cases like lead capture, support intake, job applications, appointment bookings, or payment-enabled order forms, Jotform is the way to go. Simply use a contact form template from Jotform, customize it, and add the form link to Linktree. Jotform and Linktree work together seamlessly.
